Immerse yourself in the basic elements of theatre acting and strengthen your acting technique by working with your own body, representation of emotion, spatial awareness and relationship in scenes.
What will you do?
Besides getting to work on your acting, this course is a journey through different forms of theatre, such as object theatre, physical theatre, improvisational theatre and classical text theatre.
The class starts with a warming up. After this, you start working on exercises appropriate to that day’s theme or theatre form. In groups, all together, or in pairs, you work on different exercises.
Maruja’s classes (in Dutch)
During the lessons you will be asked to call on your own creativity. This own input is linked to the lesson assignments and so you learn the basics of making theatre. The lesson ends with a tone moment where we look at each other’s exercises.
Maruja has a great fondness for interdisciplinary forms of theatre, such as music theatre and movement theatre. In her lessons, she makes connections between creativity and personal development and the enjoyment of acting is paramount.
Danilo’s classes
In this course, we go deeper and further explore acting techniques and different theatre forms, but the basic elements will also return a lot.
Among other things, Danilo thinks it is important that you show courage and are open to exploring things together. Enjoyment is also an important element in his lessons, because he is convinced that this is when you learn the most!
